DIY Clay Mask
Are you a busy mom that needs some pampering? Well.. do I have an easy DIY Clay Mask for you to enjoy.

This mask is great for deep cleaning your pores, calming the skin, and supporting smooth skin. The beauty of this mask is that you can make it your own by adding different essential oils to the mask to make it what your skin needs.

Ingredients:
About 1Tbs of Bentonite Clay
About 2 Tbs of Apple Cider Vinegar
Approximately 8-10 drops of Frankincense Oil
Approximately 5-8 drops of Lavender Oil
 

Make sure you are using a glass bowl and a wooden spoon (metal tends to change the properties of the clay). Put about 1Tbs of the clay and 2Tbls of the vinegar in the bowl (it is one part clay to two parts vinegar). You may notice some fizzing and that is okay, you are activating the clay.
 
I use  Frankincense Oil to support smoothing my skin and I use it to help with break-outs. Lavender is another great oil for the skin as it has calming properties.
Put about 8-10 drops of Frankincense oil and about 5-8 drops of Lavender oil into the mixture.
Mix well.
 
Prior to using that mask make sure you wash your face first. (Using the Young Living Charcoal BarART, or BLOOM skincare line)
 
Grab a clean brush and spread the mixtures over your entire face and neck.
Depending on the day, I may only use this on my T-zone and I usually don't put it on my neck as my neck is extra sensitive. Remember to understand your skin and what it needs.
 
Leave this on your face for approximately 20 minutes. It will feel hard and your face will feel tight. Rinse your face with warm water. Tone and moisturize like usual with your ART or Bloom skincare.
 
If you have any extra mask, feel free to save it in a glass bowl with a cover on it. It won't last very long so make sure you use it within a reasonable amount of time. I suggest starting out using a mask once a week and then if you notice your skin responds well to the mask you can add in another session to make it twice a week if you'd like.

Meet Heather Martin

 
The sterile scent of hospitals, the hushed, hopeful whispers, and the gnawing fear that lives in every waiting room – these became the unwanted backdrop of my life. It wasn't a single event, but a relentless series of challenges that slowly, profoundly, reshaped my understanding of health and ultimately, my purpose.

It began with my own daughter's cancer diagnosis. The helplessness I felt was amplified a thousandfold. As we navigated her treatment, I scrutinized every aspect of her care, seeking not just survival, but thriving. I began to ask different questions, looking beyond the conventional to see how diet, lifestyle, and a holistic approach could support her body through the immense challenges she faced.

Then, the world tilted on its axis with my beloved father. His terminal cancer diagnosis was a crushing blow, an unyielding reality that traditional medicine, for all its marvels, couldn't alter. We watched, we hoped, we grieved. In the midst of that raw pain, a seed of curiosity took root: Was there more to healing than what we were being told?

My own body then sent a jarring message. I experienced a hemiplegic migraine, an terrifying event that starkly mimicked stroke-like symptoms. The sudden loss of function, the fear, the uncertainty – it was a profound wake-up call. It forced me to confront my own health, which I had unconsciously neglected while caring for others. It was in that moment of vulnerability that I truly understood the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

I realized then that I didn't just want to heal; I wanted to understand why we get sick and how to build true, resilient health from the ground up. I wanted to change the trajectory of my own life, and more importantly, my family's life, away from chronic illness and towards vibrant well-being.

This intense, personal journey ignited an unshakeable passion within me. I devoured knowledge, exploring functional nutrition, mind-body practices, and the profound impact of lifestyle on health. I became an integrative health practitioner because I couldn't keep this newfound understanding to myself. My deepest desire is to guide others through their own health challenges, to empower them with the knowledge and tools to create their own new beginnings, and to help them rewrite their family's health story, just as I've strived to do for my own. It's not just a profession; it's a calling born from love, loss, and a relentless hope for a healthier future for all.
